    Hi I have not been on here for years. I have also not drove my Vr6 for over six months since I bought a new car(2008 R32). I Bought the VR6 on Feb 2006 with 55000 miles on the clock. It now has 130000 miles with 24000 done last year alone:-( I would not call it a car it is more it is more a part of me or an only child of mine. No mater what is going on the car has never let me down in 8 years, never broke down in 8 years. I can leave It parked up for months at a time jump the battery and of she goes. it still has the original clutch, timing chain etc. The interior has held well too.

    Cheers Living on a Peninsula surrounded by sea the car needs done every 2 months, I keep it toped up with Werkstat Gloss inbetween. At least the winter is over now sometimes it would be covered in sea salt after 10 mins. Just as well i like to detail it.

    Yea I took them all myself. All the sunset ones i Just walked out the front door of the house pointed camera and snap, the rest are around where i live. I have got a panasonic TZ3 it is a compact camara but good. I would like to get a better one but whenever i save up any money the vr6 wants it. The sunset is over the coast of Antrim, in Nothern Ireland which is about 18 miles away. The rest have mainly the Mull of Kintyre in the back ground. Good luck with the new camera.

    Hi, you could try star performance in Fife or Bedrock veedubs in Motherwell. Have not used star performance myself (bit out of the way for me) but can recommend Bedrock veedubs.

    Venom also do the Bonrath ones. I replaced my top mounts with ones from GSF just before Christmas and had to replace them In Feb for my MOT. I put new standard ones back on again. The garage that put them on said always use standard VW Top mounts. I have had no problems with them since then and the car feels alot better. I have KW shocks and spring kit very happy with them cost about £300 if you are a primium member. Nice smooth drive and handles very well 40mm drop all round. If you are getting new suspention check out your bushes aswell. I never and had to replace them all a few mont

    Bedrock Veedubs are very good I use them every year for Service/MOT and that is a 140 mile drive to get there. Speak to John who runs the place very helpful ask him about conflicting things you heard i am sure he will tell you what happend as i have asked him before. They are also alot cheeper then a main dealer. I have never had any problems before and will continue to use them as long as my VR live's.

    I just cut the new ducting and sat it over the old air feed for the original box seems to be fine. What did you do with the small hose that was connected to the original air filter (looks like a feul line or something) is there any where to relocate it or do you just cable tie it somewhere mine is just hanging around?
